STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Eccentricity at Downstream = (1+(Vertical Stress at a Point/(Vertical Component of Force/(144*Thickness of Dam))))*Thickness of Dam/6
e_d = (1+(σ_z/(F_v/(144*T))))*T/6
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Eccentricity at Downstream - Eccentricity at Downstream is the distance from point of application of resultant to center of base.
Vertical Stress at a Point - (Measured in Pascal) - Vertical Stress at a Point is the stress acting perpendicular to the surface.
Vertical Component of Force - (Measured in Newton) - Vertical component of force is the resolved force acting along the vertical direction.
Thickness of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Dam is the measurement or extent of dam from side to side.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vertical Stress at a Point: 2.5 Pascal --> 2.5 Pascal No Conversion Required
